:lolol: Wiggins has also won 4 gold medals at Olympics, and a silver and a couple of Bronze medals. We've only bothered in the TDF because it's only now it's a fair race without the drugs. He was favourite to win because he's the best. Mo Farah :)bowdown:) has only won 2 Olympic golds, which is nothing in comparison.

If Murray wins the US it will be great - a grand slam event and the Olympics. But that's only great in the context of Britain being awful at Tennis. Other countries have athletes winning grand slams every year, it's not that amazing. Wiggins on the other hand, is the only cyclist to ever win the TDF and gold at the Olympics in the same year - an amazing achievement, and not just by British standards.

no he was fav because the course suited him and his team mate froome wasn't allowed to beat him. and of course the other decent riders have been banned. the oppo was so good his team mate nobody had heard of came 2nd. and previous olympic medals shouldn't count a jot. it's unfortunate for wiggins that his sport is so tainted and lacks much credibility.

You don't watch much cycling, do you? I think if you spoke to anybody who does, you'd get a new insight into the sport. Maybe you wouldn't care.

Djokovic is now taking Ferrer apart as everyone thought he would and surely he will cruise into the final. Murray isn't at the peak of his form, or hasn't been so far. He would need to find the Olympics performances to win.

Froome probably couldn't have beat him anyway, but that's a pointless discussion, it's always the case that a team supports their lead rider and can't go off and win on their own.
and of course the other decent riders have been banned.
For cheating. Just the same as any other sport.

If you hadn't heard of Froome then you don't know anything about cycling.

Wiggins is the greatest British sportsman ever, the only thing lacking credibility here is you.

Its not really a real sport though is it?

Any old John can go out and mince around the mountains on their pushbike.
